Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is characterized by release of proinflammatory cytokines and tissue inflammation occurring early after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. The role of previous IRIS events in persistent chronic inflammation in people with HIV is currently unclear. In this retrospective analysis of 143 participants who maintained suppression of HIV viremia, we compared biomarkers related to inflammation, coagulation, and cardiovascular risk after 3 years on ART in participants with and without a history of IRIS. There was no evidence of higher levels of persistent chronic inflammation in people with HIV who had a history of an IRIS event. . NCT00286767.

Investigating ocular biomarkers and differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and vascular cognitive impairment based on multimodal imaging.
J Biomed Opt
December 2024
Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences, College of Medical Instruments, Shanghai, China.
Significance: The eye can be used as a potential monitoring window for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of neurological diseases. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) are common causes of cognitive impairment and may share many similarities in ocular signs. Multimodal ophthalmic imaging is a technology to quantify pupillary light reaction, retinal reflectance spectrum, and hemodynamics.

Columbia University School of Nursing, New York, NY, United States.
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is being developed for mental healthcare, but patients' perspectives on its use are unknown. This study examined differences in attitudes towards AI being used in mental healthcare by history of mental illness, current mental health status, demographic characteristics, and social determinants of health.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of an online sample of 500 adults asking about general perspectives, comfort with AI, specific concerns, explainability and transparency, responsibility and trust, and the importance of relevant bioethical constructs.
A Second Look at Secondary Hypogammaglobulinemia.
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol
December 2024
Division of Allergy, Immunology, Rheumatology, Rochester Regional Health, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. Electronic address:
Hypogammaglobulinemia is defined as a reduced immunoglobulin level, which can be either primary due to inborn errors of immunity or acquired in the setting of poor antibody production or increased antibody loss. Secondary hypogammaglobulinemia (SHG) should be considered in patients with a history of immunosuppressive therapy, transplant, protein loss syndromes, certain autoimmune conditions, and malignancies, as it can be associated with increased infectious risk. Appropriate history and lab-based screening in these populations can identify SHG allowing treatment and close monitoring as appropriate.

- The study identifies a new amphibian species in the genus Cacosternum from the Cederberg region of South Africa, previously misclassified as C. karooicum.
- This new species is closely related to C. capense and C. namaquense but is distinct due to specific morphological features and acoustic characteristics.
- The research includes insights into the new species' natural history, geographic distribution, and conservation needs.
